I appreciate your not wanting me to mention this subject, but both relate to the same resolution. If Bush is going to propose a resolution to a problem, he would be well advised to have honored the document faithfully that he now plans to utilize to his advantage. Otherwise this simply comes off as a manipulation to his advantage.
It's not that I didn't want you to mention the subject of immigration, I simply couldn't see the connection between the two issues. GWB did propose a general plan for debate in Congress, but my guess is that it will never reach the floor for debate because of the response that it drew, and the fear that Congress would repeat the mistake made in the 1980's if a worker program was considered.
So I will bet that the "Status Quo" is where things will stay until the need for this issue to be addressed becomes even more crucial for our security. This is an emotional issue and there is no simple answer, the complexity of this issue is immense and we will have to live with the Status Quo
